The Seventh Man

2006-04-09

Much have been said and written about the six Danish imams, who recently participated at the conference in Bahrain. But hardly any attention has been paid to the seventh participant, who was not an imam but a medical doctor.

Mr. Jihad Al-Farra is head of the Muslim Council of Denmark, a group which is virtually unknown in Denmark, and whose members can be counted on one hand. Nevertheless he was interviewed on Al-Jazeera.net this Friday.

Al-Farra's anger is directed towards the government, which "isolates the Muslim organisations and is selective in its contact to Danish Muslims". He believes that [foreign minister] Per Stig Møller hasn't spoken the truth about the government's approval of Islam as a religion.

"Because of great pressure on the Danish government, it was said that there is three or four approved Islamic organisations, but this is not the same as state recognizing Islam as a religion" he adds.

"Offences of religions results in imprisonment according to the Danish penal code, but since Islam as a religion is not approved in Denmark, the Muslim's case against the Mohammed-drawings has been disregarded."

The Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs has approved around 100 individual religious communities including Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and Old Norse congregations. 19 of these are Muslim congregations.

And to set the record even more straight:

In Denmark as a whole there are about 120 mosques or Muslim prayer rooms.

In Copenhagen and a number of other cities in Denmark parts of the public cemeteries are reserved for the burial of Muslims.

That's nineteen Muslim communities and not "three or four", and it's been so for a long time. It isn't something the Minister of Foreign affairs has done "because of great pressure".

The next part is even more stupid - the fact that Jyllands-Posten's staff hasn't been jailed has nothing to do with Islam not being approved. The blasphemy law hasn't been applied in 70 years and - believe me - in those 70 years there has been plenty of blasphemy against Christianity.

For example the Danish provocateur extraordinaire made The Return, a movie with a sexually active Jesus, who is involved in a terrorist group. Later on, Thorsen decorated the gable of a house with Jesus on the cross with a huge erection. Muslims who think Jyllands-Posten is bad, don't know how lucky they are.

It's bad enough to hear such lies and stupidity from imams - but you'd expect better from a doctor.

"... since Islam as a religion is not approved in Denmark, the Muslim's case against the Mohammed-drawings has been disregarded."

I suppose he's right - not yet, but sooner or later. When Islam is seen for what it advocates, it will be banned, not only in Denmark. After reading the Quran it is difficult not to see Islam as a Supremacy Cult advocating racism (what else is dhimmitude?)

It is a sorry situation for all the decent people who happen to grow up as muslims - once independent thinking is spreading, they will gradually find out they have been cheated all the way.

this junk written in this article and the stupid comment that is made, are baseless, when over 1/5 th of the people live on this earth are Muslims, i do not take an opinion from an idiot, and a cartoon that is made to grant the author some publicity, and giving you opinion about a religion should take a longer time not just a brief reading of Quran in a translated form

You know, it's interesting how blatantly biased this article is. It talks about islam and muslims and how ignorant and 'fascist' and 'racist' and stupid etc we are, not even stopping to realize that this ENTIRE ARTICLE is grounded on racism and backed by ignorance.

Funnier still, you seem to think we actually care what you people think about us.

And how pathetic the first 'commentor' tries to sound complacent and understanding, saying:"It is a sorry situation for all the decent people who happen to grow up as muslims - once independent thinking is spreading, they will gradually find out they have been cheated all the way"

Do you know, Islam promotes individual thinking? It is for precisely that reason we CHOOSE to be muslims. Because we see beauty and more sense than you do. So please don't try to sound wiser, cos you'll just embarass yourself.

This article isn't meant to 'inform' people in any way. It is written solely to INSULT and RIDICULE the Muslims. And then you wonder why SOME Muslims don't like you, and want to harm you. Have no doubt that one day, if you go on like this and don't sincerely repent, you will get it, either in this life or in the hereafter. But by then, it will be too late. I only hope it doesn't have to come to that.

You can even tell more lies,but at least you shouldnt have written that HZ. MOHAMMED got another wife at the age of 70,you are liars ,even you are yalkin about a portrait which is in a church and showing that ,he is in hell,your fantasy is stinking bastards,Jesus isnt my prophet but still I would and I will respect him.Just try to respect to the person who is followed by billions
